As part of the initiatives, we take as a company in the field of Health & Safety, the Company has developed a training program for Rescue crews and fire safety teams with the innovative FLAIM TRAINER system. The organization and execution of the program was implemented by the Rescue Team of the Kassandra Mines. Hellas Gold is the first company in Greece to make long-term use of the system from December 6, 2021, and for 2 months, while it is among the first two companies to introduce the program. This training system is also used, among others, by the world's two leading mining and quarrying companies, BHP and Rio Tinto, as well as by NASA and the US Air Force, while the multiple benefits of the FLAIM Trainer are further highlighted in the official magazine of NFPA (National Fire Protection Association, USA).

It is an innovative training system through virtual reality technology (Virtual Reality) where, through different scenarios, trainees evaluate in almost real conditions, the way they think and act, under the guidance of a specialized trainer who is with them throughout the educational process. FLAIM was developed through 10 years of research by the Research and Innovation Institute of Deakin University (Australia). FLAIM's algorithms mimic real-world fire behavior, including movement, smoke, flashovers, and explosions. FLAIM Trainer combines high-fidelity virtual fire environments with real-time physical environments to deliver the feel of a true virtual training experience aimed at safely preparing firefighters and first responders for the dangers associated with firefighting.
